Agent safety v2
Good audit and safety signals with no high-risk permission hints in public metadata.
Review the audit page, then allow agent install in a sandboxed workflow.
medium
Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.
medium
Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.
Install targets
Copy the registry command or an agent-specific install prompt for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.
Use the registry command when your workflow supports the OpenAgentSkill installer.
$ npx skills add ai4s-research/ai4s-skillsAgent resolve plan
The Resolve API returns the selected skill, alternatives, safety policy, audit notes, install target, and copy-paste prompt an agent can follow without scraping this page.

Quality profile
Solid option that is likely worth shortlisting for production workflows.
Workflow fit
Build and ship code
I need a coding agent that can understand a repository, edit code, and review pull requests.
Search private knowledge
I need my agent to build a RAG workflow over documents and retrieve reliable context.
Investigate faster
I need my agent to research a topic, compare sources, and produce a concise report.
Stack fit
Ingest, retrieve, and cite
A stack for document-heavy agents that ingest files, create searchable knowledge, retrieve relevant context, and answer with grounded sources.
Find, compare, and synthesize
A stack for agents that gather sources, compare claims, summarize long material, and draft useful research briefs.
Inspect, patch, and verify code
A stack for software agents that inspect repositories, review pull requests, generate tests, and turn findings into shippable patches.
Alternative shortlist
Similar skills in this category, ranked with the same readiness and quality signals.
A relentless interview that pressure-tests a plan against the codebase, sharpens domain language, and updates CONTEXT.md and ADRs when decisions become durable.
Review a branch or diff against repository standards and the originating spec in two independent analysis passes.
Turn the current conversation and codebase context into a structured implementation spec, then publish it to the configured project issue tracker.
Break a plan, spec, or conversation into independently actionable tracer-bullet tickets with explicit blocking relationships.
Open-source agent skills for AI for Science: topic exploration, literature survey, experiments, paper writing, and integrity audit — driven by any coding agent.
Imported by the skill-only GitHub discovery pipeline because it matches agent skill, automation, domain workflow, RAG, document-processing, data, finance, security, or developer-tool signals. Protocol-server projects are excluded from automated imports.

Growth loop
Scenario-led draft for Ai4s Skills, ready for a manual X post.
Most coding agents don't fail from lack of model power. They fail when repo context disappears. Ai4s Skills gives coding agents a repeatable way to plan, patch, review, or ship. 154 stars https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/ai4s-research-ai4s-skills?ref=x #AIAgents
